    Not me, I'm here by the truck near the house waiting on 4 new batteries to show up. Great way to start my after vacation work week.

    I knew it wasn't you. I know your truck number. That truck is gone now anyway.

    How was the cruise? The Mrs and I are going to do that one someday.

    Got a produce delivery to the Rochester Wegman's in a few hours and all I can think of is @chralb's tribulations. And that port-a-potty.

    I have been there twice since chralb's ordeal and it was a smooth process. The y also have proper restrooms with running water should you need them.

    I saw the sign about pulling the chain on the wall to raise the blue door going to the restroom. Having grown up on Hannah Barbera and Merry Melodies 'toons, however, that chain looks like the sort that drops anvils.

    Kinda funny seeing the Pilot fuel tanker truck fueling up at the Pilot pumps. Seems like such an inefficient way to get the fuel from his tanker into his tanks. Least they could do is top him off at the fuel depot where they fill up his tanker.

    Yes, via cruise ship. My wife took the picture with me wearing my Abilene sweatshirt.
